À propos de cet audio

What happens when a software engineer leaves crypto behind to build something that actually improves civic life?  In this episode of Synching Up, Jake sits down with Shruti Gupta, founder of Pollsee, a new platform aiming to democratize lobbying and bring everyday people into conversations with local governments.  

They discuss:

Why local elections feel so out of reach—and how Pollsee is changing that
How Shruti navigated coming out, camping solo, and launching a company all in one year
What she learned from a co-founder breakup and why solo building is both freeing and lonely
And how being queer and brown shapes her role as a civic tech founder

From potholes to policy proposals, Shruti’s story is one of bold pivots, quiet courage, and building the tools we wish we had.
